      Need Trump back, doesn't matter if you liked him or not. *NO new wars* were started from 2016 to 2020, people were scared of him and that's exactly what we need now more than ever.
      Look at all the wars started before 2016 then literally right after Trump left office lmao if that doesn't tell you something idk what will.
      Just like Putin said "I'll wait until America has a "Weak" President before i attack again" and that's exactly what he did. Thankfully Trump gave Ukraine weapons before leaving office because Russia would've ran through Ukraine week one. And that wasn't the first time Putin has said and done that either.
      Now we have a "President" selling foreign criminals US soil right next to our military base lmao
      Biden talks about gun control and then released the biggest gun trafficking terrorist on the planet for some 6itch who said she hates America. Left Paul and all the other Marines who fought for our rights and freedoms to rot in prison instead. FJB!

    You’re exactly right. The song is inspired by the movie Johnny Got His Gun based on the anti-war novel written by Dalton Trumbo in 1939. It’s about the horror of war as exemplified by the young devastatingly injured young man lying in the bed who lost all of limbs, his vision and hearing in a WWI battle. The doctors think him unaware but that’s not true. He’s aware of everything. An extraordinarily hard to read, excellent book and Dalton Trumbo was an extraordinary man.

    The Blues was about getting certain feelings out and sometimes it made you dance. Thrash Metal was all about getting out feelings as well. The kind that would keep you up at night or make you explode if you didn't get them out. And we moshed and stood and banged our heads in time to the beat, so in essence, dancing in our own way. We were a pissed off generation. It's why as the years passed you saw gangster rappers and metalheads making music together. The things talked about may have been a little different but the raw aggression and passion was very much the same. As was the prolific lyrics. Thrash moves fast so it needed a ton of lyrics.

      I mean hard to pick a best song. Depends on what's going on in your head. Now that I'm old I don't bother with a best song though I just play the black album, ride the lighting, or S&M back to back for hours of awesome driving or lifting.

    The song was inspired by an old book/movie called “Johnny Got His Gun” about a WW1 vet that gets shredded by an explosive cannon shell. He loses his arms and legs and most of his face and is kept alive, but wants to die rather than live on as on object of curiosity.
    Metallica was so inspired by the movie for the writing of this song that they tracked down and bought the full movie rights to the film so they could use it extensively in the official video.
